If all goes well a hosted web wallet (blockchain-info-style) will be available today or early next week in beta.   Good enough to TRY.   

As long is there is no central control, authority or other company that can get hacked, then ok, maybe a web wallet would be ok, BUT,  I dumped my blockchain.info account since they are a central point of failure.

Welcome  :)

i'm still using blockchain.info for small day to day transaction!
Same i'll do with web wallet! Sure if there is a central point of failure .. but it's ok for me...

All is well now, thank you everyone for your help!

My laptop is only 3 years old roughly, it's a Dell, top of the line when I bought it. The best way to get Bitshares Client installed, although it took about 45 minutes, was to go to the bitshares github and copy every line into your Terminal to build/make the bitshares client run properly:
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/blob/master/BUILD_UBUNTU.md

The first time you start up the bitshares client, let it run and run and run till it syncs first!
Then after a few hours it should be done, from there, come to this forum for your free bitshares faucet deposit, then once that deposit shows up in your bitshares client, THEN you can register your name, shapeshift a few bucks into your new account, and voila, you're up and running with bitshares.

Everyone here is awesome, you just gotta be patient getting it all setup, it's worth it, no worries! :)

i'm a linux newb, been using for about a year and a half now, whenever i grab a new app i just use the software manager to do it. Obviously bitshares does not exist in the software manager so I am gonna try this via the bitshares website tar.gz, so here it goes:

1. Downloaded "bitsharesGUI-0.6.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz"
2. Extracted it
3. double-clicked on the appp/executable "bitshares_client"
now what? nothing happens.

Did you set bitshares_client to chmod +x ?could be the issue.

It seems you have a hard time understanding how Linux operates, I recommend you to read some simple tutorials about installing and using linux. (use google)

Ok, I finally got bitshares installed, but it will not let me register for an account.
It opens a browser window, loads up the faucet page, but none of the logins are working.
twitter, reddit, bitshares login, etc. see the error message in the image i have linked here..
please help me setup an account with bitshares, i feel like a drug addict that ain't gettin his fix,  this sucks, i need it bad baby!
do i need to update or upgrade or something?

please advise, thanx :)

I cross-posted a link to this thread in our Technical subforum. Someone smarter than me should be able to help you soon.

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=14421.new#new

thanx so much :)

here's what I get right now:

mama@mama-pc ~ $ cd Downloads
mama@mama-pc ~/Downloads $ bitshares_client
bitshares_client: command not found
mama@mama-pc ~/Downloads $ ^C
mama@mama-pc ~/Downloads $

I followed the steps here too:
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/blob/master/BUILD_UBUNTU.md

It compiled ok I guess, took about 30minutes, but it made it all the way through to 100% completion and gave me a prompt again so now what doI do so I can run bitshares for the first time and setup/fund an account?

Thanx in advance :)

i'm a linux newb, been using it for about a year and a half now, but have never had to install anything like this before. in wondoze i would just run the exe, but i dumped all m$ products from our home.

are there any linux people here that could walk me thru the install of the latest bitshares_client? i have the tar.gz extracted and ready to go.

skype (kenCode_de) would be awesome and heck i could even send you some btc for your time!!

i'm desperate to get bitshares running today before bts price gets above a penny, PLEEEEEZE :)
once i finally have a bitshares account i will immediately buy a bunch thru shapeshift.

Please skype me or email me ([email protected]) so I can buy tonight, please and thank you for your time :)

and buy some up (bts, yes?) on (kraken?).

or buy on shapeshift.io - it's very easy with them. hope they'll re-add bitusd soon.

Please sign me up ([email protected]) so I can download it, open a bitshares account, and buy some up (bts, yes?) on (kraken?).

I'm glad you've discovered BitShares. It brings blockchain decentralization to banking, exchange, and soon other types of business and finance. Yes, Max is doing a great job and we love his work. Please feel free to post in the General section of the forum, also, since more people are reading that and you often can get a more robust discussion going there.

i'm hopin to do my first crypto options trading with bitshres.. calls puts iron condors etc. technical analysis can finally be done without having to worry about market manipulations like with wall street fiat. our analysis can actually make sense now! anyway, my bitcoin point of sale (pos) company here could really use bitshares too so i don't have to sell bitpay anymore, worrying about them getting hacked etc. lots of reasons why i'm so stoked about Bitshares!! :)
cheerz guys, weissbier's on me if you're in munich!

The thing that attracts me most to bitshares is the fact that it is totally decentralized. I don't ever want to past my private key into a site. Even keybase had me a bit concerned when i signed up with them for that reason. Not that I'm paranoid, but one of my companies puts bitcoin pos systems into stores and i want to stop selling bitpay because of their obvious liability and exposure to malicious types.

Right now, BTS is dirt cheap and I want in before the wallet comes out and every joe shmo gets in too. buy low sell high you know ;)

**Is there a step by step way to to install, signup, run and fund my new bts account now before that wallet is out?
Thanx :)

The server NEVER stores your private key.  But you do have to trust it to serve you honest JavaScript.  This trust will be minimized via a chrome extension which will make the trust level much closer to a simple light wallet... ie: you must trust the serve to report honest data about other accounts.

by the way, I love Bitshares.tv, Max is sharp. Not sure if he's a delegate, but he sure should be if he isn't. That show is how I discovered Bitshares :)
Thanx again! -ken

sad to say i was a windoze guy, but happily a linux mint guy now, decided to get rid of all m$ products. it made for an easy transition for my family too since mint was so similar to windoze. anyhooz..

i'd rather not do any github compile it stuff, would rather just run the executable, but it does nothing when i try to run it. ii even cmd lined it, checked the perms everything is fine there i guess, i have admin rights.

please give me an url or tip please, am dying to get into bitshares :)
thanx!
